pricing of the S6000fd

Hi everyone,
for all of you who purchased the S6000fd a while ago and paid around $300 or even less and even received the $50 FUJIFILM rebate you will definitely appreciate this great camera even more when you find out that you can barely find a store online that is still selling this camera and if you do find one the price tag is $400 and up!
There are sites still advertising it for $300 or less but these are scam websites so be careful if ordering the camera!

Lunar eclipse tonight folks! Last one for 7 years.
It was a crystal clear night here but around -7f so I only stayed out for around 15 shots. I was impressed that the camera performed well at this temp, I was outside for around 25 minutes.
This shot was quite challenging since the light was shadowed and constantly changing. Long exposure was also a challenge even with a tripod since the moon is actually moving quite fast. I finally found the sweet spot at 1 second. Fast enough not to show blur but slow enough to get an exposure that showed some detail. Not a great shot but decent all things considered.

My moon attempt, not the lunar eclipse though (it was too early in morning for me here)...
Shutter priority mode, 1/5 s, F4.9, ISO 100, full zoom, shot in RAW. It isn't handheld or tripod used, but I put the camera on window sill (while window was opened) and used 2 s selftimer.
